Although structurally similar to pancreatic lipase (PL), the key enzyme of intestinal fat digestion, pancreatic lipase-related protein type 2 (PLRP2) differs from PL in certain functional properties. Notably, PLRP2 has a broader substrate specificity than PL, and unlike that of PL, its activity is not restored by colipase in the presence of bile salts. In the studies presented here, the activation mechanism of horse PLRP2 was studied through active site-directed inhibition experiments, and the results demonstrate fundamental differences with that of PL. The opening of the horse PLRP2 flap occurs as soon as bile salt monomers are present, is accelerated in the presence of micelles, and does not require the presence of colipase. Moreover, in contrast to PL, horse PLRP2 is able to directly interact with a bile salt micelle to form an active binary complex, without the micelle being presented by colipase, as evidenced by molecular sieving experiments. These findings, together with the sensitivity of the horse PLRP2 flap to partial proteolysis, are indicative of a higher flexibility of the flap of horse PLRP2 relative to PL. From these results, it can be concluded that PLRP2 can adopt an active conformation in the intestine, which could be important for the further understanding of the physiological role of PLRP2. Finally, this work emphasizes the essential role of colipase in lipase catalysis at the lipid-water interface in the presence of bile. 相似文献

The nitration of the long form (N-terminal valine) of porcine pancreatic colipase with tetranitromethane was investigated under a variety of conditions. Fractionation of the nitrated monomers on DE-cellulose led to well-defined derivatives containing one, two and three nitrotyrosines per mol. Automated Edman degradation of the nitrated peptides, especially that of the staphylococcal proteinase peptide (49-64) showed that Tyr-54 was nitrated very fast under all conditions. This residue was the only one to be nitrated in water. Partial nitration of Tyr-59 was induced by bile salt micelles, while both Tyr-59 and Tyr-58 reacted extensively in the presence of lysophosphatidylcholine micelles (in which tetranitromethane is concentrated 150-fold compared to water) or of a liquid tetranitromethane-water interface. The strong negative Cotton effect at 410 nm which has already been observed using unfractionated preparations of nitrated colipase (Behnke W.D. (1982) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 708, 118-123) is linked with the nitration of Tyr-59 and it is markedly reduced by taurodeoxycholate micelles, suggesting a conformational change induced by the micelles in the tyrosine region. Moreover, the pKa of the nitrotyrosine residues in nitrated colipase is the same as that of free nitrotyrosine (pKa = 6.8) and it is shifted to 7.6 in the presence of taurodeoxycholate micelles. Micelles protected colipase against polymerization during nitration. These data suggest that Tyr-58 and Tyr-59 are part of the interface recognition site of colipase. The participation of Tyr-55 in binding is not excluded. The upwards nitrotyrosine pKa shift in the colipase micelle complex may explain why nitrated colipase can reactivate lipase in a triacylglycerol-taurodeoxycholate system at pH 7.5. 相似文献

The adsorption of colipase is essential for pancreatic triglyceride lipase activity and efficient dietary fat digestion. Yet, little is known about which specific amino acids in the hydrophobic surface of colipase influence adsorption. In this study, we systematically substituted alanine or tryptophan at residues implicated in adsorption of colipase to an interface. We expressed, purified recombinant colipase mutants and characterized the ability of each alanine mutant to restore activity to lipase in the presence of bile salts. The functions of L16A, Y55A, I79A and F84A colipase were most impaired with activities ranging from 20 to 60% of wild-type colipase. We next characterized the fluorescence properties of the tryptophan mutants in the absence and presence of bile–salt–oleic acid mixed micelles. We performed steady-state emission spectra to determine peak shift and I330/I350 ratio and acrylamide quenching curves to characterize the environment of the residues. The analysis supports a model of adsorption that includes residues Leu 34 and Leu 36 on the 2nd loop, Tyr 55 and Tyr 59 on the 3rd loop and Ile 75 and Ile 79 on the 4th loop. The analysis confirms that Phe 84 is not part of the adsorption surface and likely stabilizes the conformation of colipase. Contrary to the predictions of computer modeling, the results provide strong support for an essential role of Tyr 55 in colipase adsorption to mixed micelles. The results indicate that the adsorption of colipase to mixed micelles is mediated by specific residues residing in a defined surface of colipase. 相似文献

Fluorescence techniques have been employed to study the interaction of porcine and equine colipase with pure taurodeoxycholate and mixed micelles. Nitrotyrosine-55 of porcine colipase is obtained by modification with tetranitromethane (low excess, in the presence of taurodeoxycholate) of the protein followed by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Verification of the residue modified was obtained by h.p.l.c. peptide purification and sequence analysis. Reduction and quantitative reaction with dansyl chloride yields a fluorescent derivative that is twice as active in conjunction with lipase as is native colipase and that exhibits a strong emission band at 550 nm. Addition of micellar concentrations of taurodeoxycholate causes a 4.3-fold increase in the emission maximum as well as a 70 nm blue shift to 480 nm. Inclusion of oleic acid to form a mixed micelle reduces these spectral effects. Scatchard analysis of the data yield a Kd of 6.8 X 10(-4) M and a single colipase-binding site for taurodeoxycholate micelles. The data, by analogy to a phospholipase system, are consistent with a direct insertion of dansyl-NH-tyrosine-55 into the micelle. The presence of a single tryptophan residue (Trp-52) in equine colipase provides an intrinsic fluorescent probe for studying protein-micelle interaction. The emission maximum of horse colipase at 345 nm indicates a solvent-accessible tryptophan residue which becomes less so on binding of micelles. A blue shift of 8 nm and a 2-fold increase in amplitude is indicative of a more hydrophobic environment for tryptophan induced by taurodeoxycholate micelles. There is also a decrease in KSV for acrylamide quenching in the presence of micelles, which further supports a loss of solvent accessibility. The most dramatic pH effects are observed with KI quenching, and may indicate the presence of negative charges near Trp-52. 相似文献

The conformation of a surface loop, the lid, controls activity of
pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) by moving from a position that sterically
hinders substrate access to the active site into a new conformation that opens
and configures the active site. Movement of the lid is accompanied by a large
change in steady state tryptophan fluorescence. Although a change in the
microenvironment of Trp-253, a lid residue, could account for the increased
fluorescence, the mechanism and tryptophan residues have not been identified.
To identify the tryptophan residues responsible for the increased fluorescence
and to gain insight into the mechanism of lid opening and the structure of PTL
in aqueous solution, we examined the effects of mutating individual tryptophan
residues to tyrosine, alanine, or phenylalanine on lipase activity and steady
state fluorescence. Substitution of tryptophans 86, 107, 253, and 403 reduced
activity against tributyrin with the largest effects caused by substituting
Trp-86 and Trp-107. Trp-107 and Trp-253 fluorescence accounts for the
increased fluorescence emissions of PTL that is stimulated by
tetrahydrolipstatin and sodium taurodeoxycholate. The largest contribution is
from Trp-107. Contrary to the prediction from the crystal structure of PTL,
Trp-107 is likely exposed to solvent. Both tetrahydrolipstatin and sodium
taurodeoxycholate are required to produce the increased fluorescence in PTL.
Alone, neither is sufficient. Colipase does not significantly influence the
conformational changes leading to increased emission fluorescence. Thus,
Trp-107 and Trp-253 contribute to the change in steady state fluorescence that
is triggered by mixed micelles of inhibitor and bile salt. Furthermore, the
results suggest that the conformation of PTL in solution differs significantly
from the conformation in crystals.Lipases belong to a large gene family of proteins characterized by a common
protein structure (1,
2). Included in this family are
pancreatic triglyceride lipase
(PTL,2 triacylglycerol
acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3) and its close homologues pancreatic triglyceride
lipase related proteins 1 and 2
(3). Not only do these
pancreatic lipases have highly conserved primary structures, their x-ray
crystal structures are essentially identical
(4–6).
Each contains two domains, a globular N-terminal domain consisting of an
α/β hydrolase fold and a C-terminal domain consisting of a
β-sandwich structure. A striking feature of these lipases and many others
is the presence of a surface loop termed the lid domain. Together with the
β5 loop and β9 loops of the N-terminal domain, the lid domain
sterically hinders access of substrate to the active site. In this
conformation, PTL cannot hydrolyze substrate, and the existence of another
conformation was proposed
(6).Subsequently, a second, open conformation of PTL was identified in studies
of the crystal structure of the PTL-colipase complex
(7,
8). In these studies, the
investigators obtained crystals of the complex in the presence and absence of
detergent and phospholipid mixed micelles. Without micelles, the lid domain
remained in the same closed position as observed in the PTL structure even
though colipase clearly bound to the C-terminal domain
(8). With micelles, the lid
domain and the β5 loop adopted new conformations
(7). A large hinge movement of
the lid moved the domain away from the active site to form new interactions
with colipase. The lid movement opened and configured the active site to
generate a conformation compatible with catalysis. Additionally, the movement
exposed a large hydrophobic surface on the PTL-colipase complex, a surface
that likely contributes to the anchoring of the complex on the substrate
interface.Although x-ray crystallography studies clearly demonstrated two
conformations of PTL and other lipases, these only provide a static picture of
what may be the beginning and end of the process. The mechanism that triggers
lid opening and the presence of intermediate conformations remains
speculative. Initially, many assumed that a lipid-water interface triggered
the conformational change (9).
However, a number of studies using inhibitors, small angle neutron scattering,
neutron diffraction, and monoclonal antibodies suggest that the lid can open
in solution
(10–14).
In these studies, it was variously suggested that bile salt micelles and
colipase or bile salt micelles alone were sufficient to trigger lid opening.
The presence of a lipid substrate was not required.None of these studies addressed the relative contribution of bile salts and
colipase to the lid opening. A recent paper described the use of electron
paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy combined with site-directed spin labeling
to monitor conformational changes in the PTL lid and to determine the effect
of bile salts and colipase on lid opening
(15). A cysteine was
substituted for Asp-250 in the lid domain, and a paramagnetic probe was linked
at that site. Using this method, the authors observed a mixture of closed and
open conformations of the lid in the presence of bile salt micelles alone.
Colipase by itself did not induce lid opening, but in the presence of bile
salt micelles, colipase increased the relative concentration of PTL in the
open conformation. Although the spin labeling did not have dramatic effects on
the activity of the labeled PTL, it may not be benign. The presence of the
probe may alter the kinetics of lid opening and may explain why a portion of
PTL always stayed in the closed position.Another spectral method to follow conformation changes in proteins is
fluorescence spectroscopy of native tryptophan. After systematically mutating
the three tryptophans to alanine, investigators measured the binding of
Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase and the mutants to mixed micelles of
cis-parinaric acid and bile salt by fluorescence quenching and
fluorescence resonance energy transfer
(16). The measured values
correlated with lid opening and depended on the presence of the single
tryptophan in the lid. PTL shows a large increase in tryptophan fluorescence
when incubated with a lipase inhibitor, tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), in the
presence of bile salts (11).
It was suggested, but not demonstrated, that the fluorescence change reflected
movement of the lid domain. Because PTL contains seven tryptophan residues
including one in the lid, Trp-253, the interpretation of this study is quite
complicated. Another study monitoring time-resolved fluorescence of PTL and
several tryptophan mutants demonstrated that Trp-30 makes a significant
contribution to the tryptophan fluorescence of PTL
(17). The lid tryptophan,
Trp-253, had a low quantum yield and contributed considerably less to the
overall tryptophan fluorescence. This report did not include investigations of
PTL fluorescence in the presence of bile salts or colipase. Consequently, the
assumption that the large increase in steady state fluorescence of PTL in the
presence of THL and bile salt results from changes in the environment of the
lid domain tryptophan remains unproven.To determine whether the increased tryptophan fluorescence of PTL in THL
and bile saIt represents a conformational change in PTL, we measured the
effect of tryptophan substitution mutations on the activity and intrinsic
steady state fluorescence of PTL. Each of the seven tryptophans was mutated to
tyrosine. Selected tryptophans were mutated to alanine or phenylalanine. Each
mutant PTL was expressed and purified. We monitored the effect of bile salts,
colipase, THL, and mixtures of these compounds on the steady state
fluorescence of PTL. 相似文献

The topology of apocytochrome c, the heme-free precursor of the mitochondrial protein cytochrome c, was investigated in a lipid-associated form. For this purpose photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (CIDNP 1H NMR) spectroscopy and quenching of tryptophan and tyrosine fluorescence by acrylamide were applied to an apocytochrome c-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar system. A pH titration of the chemical shifts of the histidine C2 proton resonances of apocytochrome c, using conventional 1H NMR, yielded pK(a)'s of 5.9 +/- 0.1 and 6.2 +/- 0.1, which were assigned to histidine-18 and -33 and histidine-26, respectively. In the presence of SDS micelles an average pK(a) of 8.1 +/- 0.1 was obtained for all histidine C2 protons. Photo-CIDNP enhancements of the histidine, tryptophan, and tyrosine residues, contained in the intact apocytochrome c and in chemically and enzymatically prepared fragments of the precursor, were reduced in the presence of SDS micelles. Similarly, the quenching of the tryptophan fluorescence of the polypeptides by acrylamide was diminished in the presence of SDS. These results indicate the aromatic residues studied are localized in the interface of the SDS micelle. 相似文献

In a previous study, we demonstrated that the beta5'-loop in the C-terminal domain of human pancreatic triglyceride lipase (hPTL) makes a major contribution in the function of hPTL (Chahinian et al. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 13725-13735). In the present study, we characterized the contribution of three residues in the beta5'-loop, Val-407, Ile-408, and Leu-412, to the function of hPTL. By substituting charged residues, aspartate or lysine, in these positions, we altered the hydrophilic to lipophilic ratio of the beta5'-loop. Each of the mutants was expressed, purified, and characterized for activity and binding with both monolayers and emulsions and for binding to colipase. Experiments with monolayers and with emulsions suggested that the interaction of hPTL with a phospholipid monolayer differs from the interaction of the hPTL-colipase complex with a dicaprin monolayer or a triglyceride emulsion (i.e. neutral lipids). Val-407, Ile-408, and Leu-412 make major contributions to interactions with monolayers, whereas only Val-407 and Ile-408 appear essential for activity on triglyceride emulsions in the presence of bile salt micelles. In solutions of taurodeoxycholate at micellar concentrations, a major effect of the beta5'-loop mutations is to change the interaction between hPTL and colipase. These observations support a major contribution of residues in the beta5'-loop in the function of hPTL and suggest that a third partner, bile salt micelles or the lipid interface or both, influence the binding of colipase and hPTL through interactions with the beta5'-loop. 相似文献

The interaction of bile salt micelles with the tyrosines of pancreatic colipase was assessed by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. Dansyltyrosine fluorescence showed that Tyr-55 was located in the proposed interface recognition site. In support of this claim was a 70 nm blue shift and 4.3-fold quantum yield increase in emission spectrum due to taurodeoxycholate (TDOC) micelle-complex formation. Complex formation also caused a shift in the center of the major lifetime distribution from 11.7 to 15.1 ns, and more than doubled the polarization and anisotropy decay parameters. These data supported an earlier model of colipase-micelle binding that suggested that Tyr-55 was inserted into the interior of the TDOC micelle upon binding (J.C. McIntyre, P. Hundley and W.D. Behnke, Biochem. J. 245 (1987) 821). Identical experiments on a DNS-Tyr-59 derivative of colipase showed that Tyr-59 did not specifically interact with micelles. Moreover, acrylamide quenching data suggest an alteration in the protein environment surrounding DNS-Tyr-59 such that during complex formation, the efficiency of quenching of DNS-Tyr-59 increases. 相似文献

A detailed investigation by ultracentrifugation of the colipase-taurodeoxycholate system showed the formation of well-defined mixed associations with a sedimentation coefficient of about 2.2S. The fact that these associations were only detectable above the critical micelle concentration of the salt indicated that micelles rather than monomers were bound to the cofactor. Two technical difficulties must be overcome before the weight of the associations could be measured with a reasonable accuracy. Firstly, the partial specific volume of the associations was determined using a digital microdensimeter and the interferometric system of the ultracentrifuge for concentration determinations. Secondly, due to the fact that micelle concentrations could not be equilibrated by dialysis, even after an extended period of time, an appropriate dilution of the ligand in the buffer compartment was necessary in order to compensate for its fixation by colipase in the solution. Then, the ionic strength dependence of the weight of the associations was found to vary in parallel with that of the micelles and to be in each case equal to the sum of the weights of one colipase molecule and one micelle. Therefore, colipase can be expected to contain a single high affinity site for bile salt micelle binding. 相似文献

Small-angle neutron scattering studies have shown the association of porcine colipase with bile salts micelles to be a lateral one. The molecular structure parameters of the individual components were determined first. A radius of gyration of 13.9 Å is found for colipase, which implies a non-spherical shape for this molecule. The size of taurodeoxycholate micelles is controlled by the ionic strength of the solution. In 0.15 m-NaCl their volume is comparable to that of colipase; they are elongated with an axial ratio of about 2. At higher ionic strengths the elongation of the micelles increases.In 0.15 m-NaCl the complex is found to be an association of one colipase molecule with a volume of detergent corresponding to that of one free micelle. The contrast variation study of the radius of gyration shows that in the complex the centre of masses of the protein and of the detergent are well-separated: a distance between 29 and 45 Å has been estimated. The value of the radius of gyration of the complex at high contrast, and the agreement between the contrast variation analysis and a straightforward application of the parallel axes theorem indicate that the complex is formed by the juxtaposition of the protein and a preformed micelle, which has approximately the same size and shape as a free micelle. There is only one localized surface contact between the protein and the micelle, which implies that colipase possesses a relatively well-defined binding site. 相似文献

Structure of the antimicrobial peptide tritrpticin bound to micelles: a distinct membrane-bound peptide fold 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Tritrpticin is a member of the cathelicidin family, a group of diverse antimicrobial peptides found in neutrophil granules. The three Trp and four Arg residues in the sequence VRRFPWWWPFLRR make this a Trp-rich cationic peptide. The structure of tritrpticin bound to membrane-mimetic sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles has been determined using conventional two-dimensional NMR methods. It forms two adjacent turns around the two Pro residues, a distinct fold for peptide-membrane interaction. The first turn involves residues 4-7, followed immediately by a second well-defined 3(10)-helical turn involving residues 8-11. The hydrophobic residues are clustered together and are clearly separated from the basic Arg residues, resulting in an amphipathic structure. Favorable interactions between the unusual amphipathic fold and the micelle surface are probably key to determining the peptide structure. NMR studies of the peptide in the micelle in the presence of the spin-label 5-doxylstearic acid determined that tritrpticin lies near the surface of the micelle, where its many aromatic side chains appear to be equally partitioned into the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interface. Additional fluorescence studies confirmed that the tryptophan residues are inserted into the micelle and are partially protected from the effects of the soluble fluorescence quencher acrylamide. 相似文献

The low-field portion of the 360 MHz proton N.M.R. spectrum of native porcine pancreatic colipase has been studied as a function of pH over the pH range 2-12. Resonances associated with the 26 protons of the aromatic rings of the two histidines, two phenylalanines and three tyrosines have been identified and tentatively assigned to specific residues. Titrations of pH yielded apparent pKa's of 7.9, 6.9, 10.4, 10.3 and 11.3 for His I (His 30), His II (His 86), Tyr I (Tyr 56 or 57), Tyr II (Tyr 56 or 57) and Tyr III (Tyr 53) respectively (tentative assignments). The high pKa value of His 30 is attributed to the vicinity of Asp 31. The mobility of the aromatic ring of Tyr 53 is hindered and an upper bound of 500 s-1 on the rate of rotation can be estimated. The aromatic rings of the 2 other tyrosine residues and of the 2 phenylalanine residues can rotate freely on the N.M.R. time scale. The study of perturbations in titration profiles and chemical shift values reveals a specific interaction of His 86 with Tyr I and, to a lesser extent, Tyr II. The existence of this interaction indicates that the protein folding brings in close spatial vicinity two distant regions of the covalent structure to form a "hydrophobic-aromatic" site which might be involved in the binding of bile salt micelles to pancreatic colipase. 相似文献

Micellization of sodium chenodeoxycholate (NaCDC) was studied for the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the micelle aggregation number, and the degree of counterion binding to micelle at 288.2, 298.2, 308.2, and 318.2 K. They were compared with those of three other unconjugated bile salts; sodium cholate (NaC), sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), and sodium ursodeoxycholate (NaUDC). The I(1)/I(3) ratio of pyrene fluorescence and the solubility dependence of solution pH were employed to determine the CMC values. As the results, a certain concentration range for the CMC and a stepwise molecular aggregation for micellization were found reasonable. Using a stepwise association model of the bile salt anions, the mean aggregation number (n) of NaCDC micelles was found to increase with the total anion concentration, while the n values decreased with increasing temperature; 9.1, 8.1, 7.4, and 6.3 at 288.2, 298.2, 308.2, and 318.2 K, respectively, at 50 mmol dm(-3). The results from four unconjugated bile salts indicate that the number, location, and orientation of hydroxyl groups in the steroid nucleus are quite important for growth of the micelles. Activity of the counterion (Na(+)) was determined by a sodium ion selective electrode in order to confirm the low counterion binding to micelles. The solubilized amount of cholesterol into the aqueous bile salt solutions increased in the order of NaUDC相似文献

Inhibition of pancreatic lipase by mixed micelles of diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate and bile salts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M Rouard H Sari S Nurit B Entressangles P Desnuelle 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1978,530(2):227-235
Solubility and Sephadex filtration assays have shown that dissolved diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate can be included into bile salt micelles with a partition coefficient of 32 : 1. This inclusion is probably a prerequisite for the organophosphate to inhibit lipase. The essential role played by colipase confirms that the primary step in the inhibition is an interaction of lipase with bile salt containing micelles. Therefore, it appears that the requirements of lipase towards specific substrates and inhibitors are very similar. The inhibition rate strongly depends on the total bile salt concentration and on the micellar concentration of the organophosphate. This effect may be explained, at least qualitatively, by a competition between simple and mixed micelles for the binding of colipase and lipase. 相似文献

Pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PTL) requires colipase for activity. Various constituents in meals and in bile, particularly bile acids, inhibit PTL. Colipase restores activity to lipase in the presence of inhibitory substances like bile acids. Presumably, colipase functions by anchoring and orienting PTL at the oil-water interface. The x-ray structure of the colipase.PTL complex supports this model. In the x-ray structure, colipase has a hydrophobic surface positioned to bind substrate and a hydrophilic surface, lying opposite the hydrophobic surface, with two putative lipase-binding domains, Glu(45)/Asp(89) and Glu(64)/Arg(65). To determine whether the hydrophilic surface interacts with PTL in solution, we introduced mutations into the putative PTL binding domains of human colipase. Each mutant was expressed, purified, and assessed for activity against various substrates. Most of the mutants showed impaired ability to reactivate PTL, with mutations in the Glu(64)/Arg(65) binding site causing the greatest effect. Analysis indicated that the mutations decreased the affinity of the colipase mutants for PTL and prevented the formation of PTL.colipase complexes. The impaired function of the mutants was most apparent when assayed in micellar bile salt solutions. Most mutants stimulated PTL activity normally in monomeric bile salt solutions. We also tested the mutants for their ability to bind substrate and anchor lipase to tributyrin. Even though the ability of the mutants to anchor PTL to an interface decreased in proportion to their activity, each mutant colipase bound to tributyrin to the same extent as wild type colipase. These results demonstrate that the hydrophilic surface of colipase interacts with PTL in solution to form active colipase.PTL complexes, that bile salt micelles influence that binding, and that the proper interaction of colipase with PTL requires the Glu(64)/Arg(65) binding site. 相似文献

Although structurally similar, classic pancreatic lipase (PL) and pancreatic lipase-related protein (PLRP)2, expressed in the pancreas of several species, differ in substrate specificity, sensitivity to bile salts and colipase dependence. In order to investigate the role of the two domains of PLRP2 in the function of the protein, two chimeric proteins were designed by swapping the N and C structural domains between the horse PL (Nc and Cc domains) and the horse PLRP2 (N2 and C2 domains). NcC2 and N2Cc proteins were expressed in insect cells, purified by one-step chromatography, and characterized. NcC2 displays the same specific activity as PL, whereas N2Cc has the same as that PLRP2. In contrast to N2Cc, NcC2 is highly sensitive to interfacial denaturation. The lipolytic activity of both chimeric proteins is inhibited by bile salts and is not restored by colipase. Only N2Cc is found to be a strong inhibitor of PL activity, due to competition for colipase binding. Active site-directed inhibition experiments demonstrate that activation of N2Cc occurs in the presence of bile salt and does not require colipase, as does PLRP2. The inability of PLRP2 to form a high-affinity complex with colipase is only due to the C-terminal domain. Indeed, the N-terminal domain can interact with the colipase. PLRP2 properties such as substrate selectivity, specific activity, bile salt-dependent activation and interfacial stability depend on the nature of the N-terminal domain. 相似文献

Several metmyoglobins (red kangaroo, horse and sperm whale), containing different numbers of tyrosines, but with invariant tryptophan residues (Trp-7, Trp-14), exhibit intrinsic fluorescence when studied by steady-state front-face fluorometry. The increasing tyrosine content of these myoglobins correlates with a shift in emission maximum to shorter wavelengths with excitation at 280 nm: red kangaroo (Tyr-146) emission maximum 335 nm; horse (Tyr-103, -146) emission maximum 333 nm; sperm whale (Tyr-103, -146, -151) emission maximum 331 nm. Since 280 nm excites both tyrosine and tryptophan, this strongly suggests that tyrosine emission is not completely quenched but also contributes to this fluorescence emission. Upon titration to pH 12.5, there is a reversible shift of the emission maximum to longer wavelengths with an increase greater than 2-fold in fluorescence intensity. With excitation at 305 nm, a tyrosinate-like emission is detected at a pH greater than 12. These studies show that: (1) metmyoglobins, Class B proteins containing both tyrosine and tryptophan residues, exhibit intrinsic fluorescence; (2) tyrosine residues also contribute to the observed steady-state fluorescence emission when excited by light at 280 nm; (3) the ionization of Tyr-146 is likely coupled to protein unfolding. 相似文献

Unnatural bile salts have been synthesized with a cationic group at the side chain of natural bile acids. These cationic bile salts aggregate in water and aqueous salt solutions in a manner similar to their natural counterparts. The critical micellar concentrations of the cationic bile salts were measured using a fluorescence method. Cationic bile salts aggregated at a concentration lower than natural deoxycholic acid. Since dihydroxy bile salt micelles are well known for cholesterol dissolution/removal, the dissolution in the cationic micelles has been evaluated. The cationic analogs dissolve approximately 70 mg/dL of cholesterol, which is comparable to taurochenodeoxycholate micelle under identical bile salt concentrations. Cholesterol dissolution in cationic bile salt micelle enhanced upon adding various amounts of PC. Cholesterol crystallization was studied in model bile at various cationic bile salt concentrations. The addition of 5, 15 and 30 mM of the cationic bile salts attenuated the crystallization process, without influencing the crystal observation time or decreasing the final amount of crystals formed. All these effects were comparable to those observed with cholic acid. These findings suggest that cationic bile salts have physico-chemical properties analogous to those of natural anionic bile salts, and thus may have therapeutic potential. 相似文献

The equilibrium of bile salt between aqueous phase and mixed micelle was studied in solutions of pure bile salt and lecithin comparing taurocholate and taurochenodeoxycholate. The relationship between bile salt concentration in the aqueous phase and the ratio of bile salt/lecithin in the mixed micelle was determined by equilibrium dialysis on serial dilutions of these solutions. Extrapolation of this relationship to zero mixed-micellar bile salt permitted calculation of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the mixed micelle. For taurocholate, taurochenodeoxycholate, and an equimolar mix of these two bile salts, the mixed micelle CMC's were 3.1 mM, 0.47 mM, and 0.89 mM respectively. In the most concentrated solutions, aqueous phase bile salt concentration surpassed the CMC of the simple bile salt micelle by more than four-fold indicating the presence of simple micelles as well as mixed micelles. At all dilutions taurochenodeoxycholate had a much greater affinity for the mixed micelle than did taurocholate. This last finding may be the reason for the superior cholesterol solubilizing capacity of taurochenodeoxycholate-lecithin solutions compared to taurocholate-lecithin solutions. 相似文献

In vertebrates, dietary fat digestion mainly results from the combined effect of pancreatic lipase, colipase, and bile. It has been proposed that in vivo lipase adsorption on oil-water emulsion is mediated by a preformed lipase-colipase-mixed micelle complex. The main lipase-colipase binding site is located on the C-terminal domain of the enzyme. We report here that in vitro the isolated C-terminal domain behaves as a potent noncovalent inhibitor of lipase and that the inhibitory effect is triggered by the presence of micelles. Lipase inhibition results from the formation of a nonproductive C-terminal domain-colipase-micelle ternary complex, which competes for colipase with the active lipase-colipase-micelle ternary complex, thus diverting colipase from its lipase-anchoring function. The formation of such a complex has been evidenced by molecular sieving experiments. This nonproductive complex lowers the amount of active lipase thus reducing lipolysis. Preliminary experiments performed in rats show that the C-terminal domain also behaves as an inhibitor in vivo and thus could be considered a potential new tool for specifically reducing intestinal lipolysis. 相似文献
